Weddings and Weirdness

I don't know why I put weirdness in the subject of this post. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I ran into an "Ex-boyfriend" while at the reception of my wee littlest adopted sister. That was weird. I don't want to fully go into why it threw me for a loop but he happened to be somebody I thought I could marry, but instead he got so scared that he ran away. Anyway, it was like a sliding door experience(if you have seen the movie Sliding Doors you will follow this a little easier, if not sorry) because I was thinking a lot about wanting to be married(weddings do that for me) and how he technically, if things had worked out, would have been at this reception with me and there he was in the same building on the same day but in different circumstances. So very weird.

The wedding was awesome. Kelsey was so pretty. I don't have any pictures of my own, which makes me sad, because I forgot my camera. Luckily, there were lots of people who took pictures and will send me some of theirs. The reception was at Rodizzio Grill and it was fabulous. Lots and lots of different meats brought right to me by handsome men was the highlight. This type of restaurant usually has a salad bar and then you get to try all sorts of meats as said men come by your table with meat on a stick and cut it off for you. It was awesome.

After the wedding stuff, that was done by about 5:30, we went bowling with all the family(except Kelsey, she was busy with other stuff). It was so fun to bowl with the little kids. They had a blast. It was a busy and fun day. We were all exhausted by ten!

Well, not much else here. Sorry I have been a slacker lately about blogging. Fun to have three new posts in a row to read though, eh? Don't miss all the other fun posts. I added the pranks I played at work this week as well as six quirks about me that I was tagged to do by a friend on another blog! Thanks for checking in. Enjoy your stay as always!

This week in celebration of the season premiere of The Office I played some tricks on a co-worker who shares the love of this fab TV show. Each day prior to the premiere, I did something different to her office. The first day, I put one of our water coolers next to her desk. I was sad that she moved it before I was able to get a picture of it. Tuesday, I put my phone in the ceiling of her office. Actually, one of my fellow co-workers helped me put it up. It was hilarious because by 9 am she was sick of the "Rockin Robin" ringtone that she came and got me to get it down for her. Wednesday I put pencils around the edge of her desk. I also did this to another co-worker because he was in on the prank from last week where they had my kids only say bears, bats or Battlestar Galactica. Thursday, the day of the premiere, I hung a plastic bat from her ceiling. I almost got caught hanging it too because she came to work early that day. Weirdo. This was very fun and the season premiere did not disappoint. It was so very good. I love that show and I really loved playing pranks on K. It made me want to be at school everyday. I don't know what work has to be hard sometimes!

Six Quirks about Alice!

I was tagged in a friends blog to list six quirks about myself and then tag six other people. I will tag six before I forget: Morgan, Erin, Sarah, Andi, Anne, Kent, Caleb, Josh, and Megan. I did more than six. Get over it. Hee hee! This is kinda being hard for me right now and I don't know why. I know that I really have quirks.

1. I usually have a hat on my head.
2. I do not enjoy wearing make-up. Usually this is because I am lazy and hate to put it on.
3. I am a law follower. I get very afraid when anybody wants me to join them in any rule breaking. I do not know where this comes from. It also is not enough for me to be following the rule. I also think that people who are not following the rules should be punished for it! I do not know how I became such a non-risk taker.
4. I always have stains on my clothes. Recently, I took a trip to Kohl's and noticed I had about seven stains on my shirt. I couldn't believe my close friends let me go into public dressed that way!
5. I "cross" home plate with my bat every time I go up to bat in softball. I have been doing this for years. Some may call this sacrilegious, I call it superstitious. I do not know why I started doing it, but I do!
6. I alphabetize my DVDs. It bugs me when they are out of order! One of the few OCD quirks I have.
